    Christians Must Be Prepared To Suffer For Christ

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 3, 2019
     | 5,651 views

    The Prosperity movement has given Americans a wrong view of God -- that He won’t let Christians suffer. But the truth is that suffering is a vital part of Christianity. Suffering should be viewed as a blessing, a cause for rejoicing, and a sign of future reward.

    CHRISTIANS MUST BE PREPARED TO SUFFER FOR CHRIST Matt. 24:9 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: MAGIC AT THE PASTRY SHOP 1. Two broke and hungry best friends, Dave and John, went into a pastry shop.

    The Gardener’s Field Series

    In the church, there will be unbelievers mixed in with God's people; however, Jesus warns us that it is not our place to judge. He also asks us to consider whether or not we are wheat or a tare; a believer or an unbeliever.

    This evening’s message is entitled “The Gardener’s Field,” and it’s taken from what is commonly called “The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares.” In Genesis 2:8-9, we read, “The Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed. And out of the ground the Lord ...read more

    Nathanial Hawthorn wrote The Scarlet Letter nearly two centuries ago. Hester Prynne was a young lady who had a child out of wedlock. As punishment for her adultery, she was forced to wear a scarlet letter A on her dress. The Women by the Well didn’t wear such a letter, but she might as well have.

    Many years ago in St. Louis, a lawyer visited a Christian to transact some business. Just before the two parted, his client said to him, “I’ve often wanted to ask you a question, but I’ve been afraid to do so.” “What do you want to know?” asked the lawyer.

    What Is A Real Christian?

    With cultural Christianity being the norm in America, nominal faith is what people see most often, and it’s what comes to mind when we tell people we’re a Christian. So, what is a "real" Christian? This message points out five traits.

    I wish to begin our message this morning by sharing a story by Franklin Graham. He tells us, “Some years ago, I was in a cab when I asked the driver about his faith. He replied that he was a Christian, and I asked him how he became one. I’ll never forget his reply: ‘Oh, I was born a Christian’.” ...read more
